IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND SPEEDY CURE "Mr baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her * most, especially nights.

Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflam? mation at once. Perhaps this ...
